I would like to ask whether some people could help with this project and create data files of touch events for different devices, especially the H2O.

You would need telnet access to your device.

This is how it works:
Spoiler:
make (from your telnet window) a directory for the files that you will create:
Code:
mkdir -p /mnt/onboard/.adds/pressdata
change to the newly created directory
Code:
cd /mnt/onboard/.adds/pressdata
initiate the record of a touch event
Code:
cat /dev/input/event1 > testtouch.dat
now (on the reader with nickel running) touch the screen (for instance somewhere in the middle), and watch whether the reader responds as expected
again from the telnet window: type Ctrl-C to get the telnet prompt again

To test whether the created file works:
Code:
cat testtouch.dat > /dev/input/event1
See whether the reader responses as expected.

We would need the following simple touch events (I give the list of the filenames. Together with the attached images you will certainly figure out what is meant:
Spoiler:
home_open_book1.dat
home_open_book2.dat
home_open_book3.dat
home_open_book4.dat
home_open_group1.dat
home_open_group2.dat
library_open_book1.dat
library_open_book2.dat
library_open_book3.dat
library_open_book4.dat
library_open_book5.dat
open_main_menu.dat
open_main_menu_home.dat
open_main_menu_mybooks.dat
press_middle.dat
swipe_bottom_to_left.dat
swipe_bottom_to_right.dat

Note that all but the last two are simple touch events, the last two are swipes.

I attach the files for the Kobo Touch.
